![]() ![]() The music is a nice enough fit and is pleasant music on its own, it doesn't make as much of a mistake as other Christmas films of being used too constantly or being too loud (something that a number of Lifetime Christmas films are guilty of). Personally thought the photography, while never extraordinary, complemented it nicely, not overblown while not basic either. Loved the scenery especially, regardless of any authenticity being called into question there is a festive look to it and it looks picturesque. There are good things, but they are too far and between. Also found Hallmark's 2021 Christmas output more consistent, and even that wasn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Lifetime did do worse that year, but they also did better. It is not terrible and is watchable, but nothing is done exceptionally and it didn't feel like anything special. 2021 was a rather unexceptional year for Lifetime and their Christmas films, considering the circumstances they could have been a lot worse certainly but very few of their films stood out in a good way. But also some quite big misses, where the characters are not likeable, everything is forced and shallow with implausibility too in some of the worst cases, the acting and writing being weak and basically with just nothing to them. With some surprisingly good hits, where regardless of how predictable they are succeed in being full of charm, warmth and heart so succeeding in being light-hearted and undemanding fun. ![]() My Christmas film viewings over-time have been a very mixed bag. ![]()
